Nissan to Build Global Production Engineering Center in Zama
-- 350 new jobs to be created --

ZAMA (Sept. 26, 2005) -- As part of its ongoing commitment to world-class quality, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., said today it would establish a 5.1 billion yen global production engineering center in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Construction on the facility will begin this October, with operations expected to start in March 2007.

The 30,000-square-meter facility will be built in Area 2 of Nissan\'s Zama Operations Center, consolidating Nissan\'s global production engineering function in one place. Currently, Nissan\'s vehicle-assembly plants around the world conduct their own trial production and quality analysis of the vehicle body process.

\"The new global production engineering center will focus on drastically improving the quality of new vehicles through the concentrated trial production and quality analysis of new vehicles in all stages of production, from press shop to trim and chassis,\" said Sadao Sekiyama, senior vice president, vehicle engineering production at Nissan. \"This should further enhance vehicle quality levels at Nissan\'s plants in Japan and overseas.\"

The new facility will create 350 new jobs, raising the number of employees involved in production engineering at the Zama Operations Center to 1,280.

A pilot plant for testing equipment for overseas plants, as well as a warehouse for historic vehicles and other facilities located in Area 1 will be transferred to Area 2.

Following the transfer of these operations to Area 2, about half of the land at the 21,000-square-meter Area 1 will be sold to Vantec Corporation. Vantec distributes parts for vehicle production in Area 2.

The new global production engineering facility is being built as Nissan executes a record 70 production launches around the world under its new mid-term business plan, Nissan Value-Up, which began in April. As previously announced, Nissan plans to release 28 all-new models during Value-Up, boosting global sales to 4.2 million units in fiscal year 2008.

Nissan\'s Zama Operations Center, which covers a total area of 770,000 square meters, was a major Nissan vehicle-assembly plant from 1965 to 1995, producing a total of 11.24 million passenger cars and light trucks during that time. Since 1995, the center has mainly been involved in production engineering. In December 1998, Nissan established Carest Zama, a large-scale auto mall and an auction site for used cars in Area 1.

Nissan has forecast full fiscal year net revenue of 8.176 trillion yen, operating profit of 860 billion yen, ordinary profit of 846 billion yen and net profit of 510 billion yen. The forecast is based on exchange rates of 105 yen/dollar and 125 yen/euro.

HIGHLIGHTS OF NISSAN

· World debut of Zaroot SUV concept car
· European debut of Navara, Nissan\'s new powerful pick up
· Sales of the Pathfinder SUV begin in Europe
· 350Z Roadster arrives in Europe in time for the summer

Zaroot Concept Car
Being shown for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show, the Zaroot is Nissan\'s vision of how sporty SUVs could look in the future. It combines traditional SUV values - and a serious off-road ability - with futuristic, sporty styling that marks it out as something different.

Retaining the traditional design cues of an SUV, the Zaroot\'s appearance is squared-off, solid and tough looking. It implies strength and security - yet combines these familiar themes with something a little different - a pair of gullwing doors.

The doors dominate Zaroot\'s profile, extending from the A-pillar to the rear of the passenger compartment, effectively where the C-pillar would be in a conventional vehicle. There is no B-pillar.

If the pentagonal doors define the character of Zaroot, the \'arch graphic\' roof line continues a design theme that has featured on virtually all recent Nissan\'s design concepts. Together they bring increased sporting prowess to an area of the market which hitherto has been seen as little more than utilitarian.

Front and rear styling also adds a futuristic twist to a conventional shape. Zaroot\'s bluff nose ensures minimum front overhangs and incorporates Nissan\'s now familiar angle strut grille, though the unusual vertical headlamp cluster brings an almost technical feel to Zaroot\'s \'face\'.

Navara
Europe\'s growing market for pick up trucks has a brand new contender - the Nissan Navara Double Cab. Being given its European debut at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, Navara has a tough act to follow: the market-leading Nissan Pickup.

The new Navara brings passenger car qualities to the utility market. It shares much of its mechanical layout with Nissan\'s new SUV, the Pathfinder. It also adopts many of the comfort features found in Nissan\'s latest SUV and is built side-by-side with the SUV at Nissan\'s NMISA plant in Barcelona, Spain.

And, like its predecessor, it benefits from a tried and trusted four-wheel drive system to ensure grip under all conditions: little wonder that the Pickup was such a favourite with the farming and construction industries.

While those traditional Pickup buyers are expected to appreciate Navara\'s \'go anywhere, do anything\' qualities, the newcomer\'s higher levels of comfort, quality and refinement is expected to attract leisure users who can use the combination of four-wheel drive and a versatile load area to go skiing or snowboarding in the winter and sailing or windsurfing in the summer.

Like Pathfinder, Navara features a rugged ladder-frame chassis onto which the body is securely fixed. Navara has a refined independent front suspension system featuring double wishbones and coil springs. This is teamed with a rigid axle and over slung leaf springs at the rear, designed to provide the best possible payload levels without adversely affecting handling or comfort.

Like Pathfinder, Navara\'s power comes from Nissan\'s respected 2.5-litre YD series four-cylinder turbo diesel engine, which has been extensively modified for the new models. It now features second-generation common rail technology for lower emissions, a variable nozzle turbocharger providing more power and lower emissions and there\'s a new balancer system for greater refinement.

For Navara, it is available in two different states of tune. The most potent develops 174PS and, more significantly, an impressive 403Nm of torque. The lesser powered Navara still has 145PS and 356Nm of torque.

Navara\'s four-wheel drive system uses Nissan\'s proven part-time 4WD system which provides drive to the rear wheels under normal conditions or a 50/50 torque split to all four wheels when 4WD mode is engaged.

\"During its time on sale, the Nissan Pickup earned itself a strong reputation as an honest, hard working vehicle. Navara builds on Pickup\'s strengths and adds new levels of ability, refinement and fun,\" says Brian Carolin, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Nissan Europe. \"We are confident that Navara will appeal to an ever wider customer base than Pickup achieved. It is just as happy as a hard-working, tough load carrier, or as a means to pursue leisure activities.\"

Pathfinder
European sales of Nissan\'s new 4x4 SUV, the Pathfinder, will coincide with the Geneva Motor Show and it will strengthen Nissan\'s position as a leader in the 4x4 market. It is built in Nissan\'s factory in Barcelona, Spain.

Powered by a 2.5-litre high output turbo diesel which produces 128kW (174PS) and 403Nm of torque, the Pathfinder allows active people the opportunity to pursue their hobbies and busy lifestyles. Its interior combines extreme practicality with roomy convenience. There are 64 different seating configurations, thanks to three rows of seats which can be individually folded flat to accommodate loads up to 280cm long. There are many different storage areas and even with the third row of seats in place, luggage space is impressive.

The Pathfinder employs an enhanced version of the electronically controlled ALL MODE 4x4 system found on the X-TRAIL, giving the driver 2WD, Auto, 4Hi Lock and 4LO modes to cope with the prevailing levels of traction.

Pathfinder will be available with many features which are usually found on highly specified passenger cars. Among those available, there are Intelligent Key, Xenon headlamps, satellite navigation with Traffic Management Channel, Blue Tooth telephone system with voice recognition, leather upholstery, dual zone climate control in the front and air conditioning in the rear, an opening tailgate window and even an automatically dipping rear view mirror and rain sensing windscreen wipers.

350Z Roadster
Deliveries of the 350Z Roadster will begin in Europe in March, which is good news for enthusiasts looking to combine the enjoyment of Nissan\'s highly acclaimed 350Z with the added sensation and emotion only available from a soft top.

The Roadster will provide its owner with the thrills and sensations that can only come from driving a performance convertible.

With the roof open, the driver and passenger are treated to a stimulation of the senses. They will enjoy hearing the sporty sound of the engine intake and the exhaust, both of which have been tuned for aural pleasure. These sounds enhance the feeling of acceleration, while the wind-in-the-hair feeling also adds to the overall experience.

Nissan has engineered the Roadster to ensure the structural rigidity of the Coupe is carried over. The bracing cross strut that features in the luggage area of the Coup?E for example, remains on the Roadster, albeit largely hidden between the roof storage area and the boot.
It promises driving enjoyment, which has always been central to the Z philosophy, with the added bonus of fresh air fun: the best of both worlds.

NISSAN ANNOUNCES NEW MODEL FOR SUNDERLAND PLANT

Sunderland, UK (1 Feb, 2005) - Nissan announced today that its new compact-crossover vehicle will be built at its car plant in Sunderland, UK from December 2006.
The new car, codenamed P32L, is based on the highly acclaimed Qashqai concept car unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show almost a year ago, the first model to be styled at Nissan Design Europe in Paddington, London. It was developed at Nissan Technical Centre Europe in Bedfordshire, UK.
This crossover vehicle, part people-carrier, part hatchback with available all-wheel drive, is the second new model to be announced at Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK Ltd (NMUK) in just 6 months, following confirmation that a production model based on the Tone show car, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last autumn will go into production in January 2006.
The announcement was made by Sunderland plant manager Colin Dodge, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing, Nissan Europe, at a press conference in Sunderland, attended by Patricia Hewitt, the UK\'s Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.
The new model further safeguards around 1,000 jobs at Sunderland and will create an additional 200 posts following close after the mini-MPV announcement, and represents a total UK investment of around £223M, including £5m of Regional Selective Assistance awarded by the Department of Trade and Industry. During the press conference, Hewitt welcomed Nissan\'s news of the continuing growth for the company in the United Kingdom.
The new model will go into production in December 2006 and on sale beginning in 2007.
Initial production volume will be around 130,000 units per year. This would increase the plant\'s total annual volume to around 400,000 units - strengthening Sunderland\'s position as the UK\'s biggest car plant.

During the event Nissan also unveiled its new Navara Crew Cab pick-up and the Zaroot concept SUV which will be unveiled to the public at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1. Nissan also showed a production-ready version of its Pathfinder SUV which is due to go on sale in March.
As well as the Tone, the P32L will join Nissan\'s Micra, Micra C+C and the Primera on the Sunderland production lines which build around 320,000 vehicles a year and is recognised as Europe\'s most efficient car factory.
\"Today\'s announcement is a tremendous vote of confidence in our workforce,\" said Dodge. \"Production of the P32L is a good decision for the company given our employees\' track record of handling the complexities of manufacturing multiple vehicles. It will be a challenge to integrate this all-new model into our product mix, along with our upcoming model changes. But this is the sort of challenge any car plant would welcome and I know the workforce will be looking forward to next year and the start of production.\"

Nissan believes the new model will fill a growing niche in the car market for vehicles designed to live a dual life. Qashqai, pronounced \"Cash-Ky\" is aimed at young professional people who enjoy living and working in the city during the week but who want to escape at the weekend.
Nissan Design Europe (NDE), which was responsible for designing Qashqai, is one of the company\'s design \'think-tanks\' dedicated to developing future generations of advanced designs for European markets. It combines the sleek lines of a sporting hatchback with the attitude and authenticity of a serious 4x4.
NMUK currently employs around 4,100 workers, capable of producing up to 500,000 units per year based on a three-shift system.

Nissan Production, Sales and Export Results for December and CY 2004

Tokyo -- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today released production, sales and export figures for December 2004 and calendar year 2004.

2004 Production
Nissan produced a record number of vehicles in 2004, with global production rising 8.0% compared with the previous year to 3,194,119 units.

In Japan, production dropped 2.2% to 1,439,007 units after Nissan suspended output at three of its four vehicle assembly plants due to a temporary steel shortage. The plants were halted for a total of five days in November and December and affected about 25,000 units.

Overseas production climbed 18.1% to a record 1,755,112 units. Production in the US jumped 44.5% to 754,716 units due to strong sales of the Altima mid-size sedan, the Armada sport utility vehicle (SUV), the Frontier mid-size pickup truck, and the Titan full-size pickup truck. In Mexico, production rose 5.4% from the previous year to 325,086 units helped by strong sales of the Sentra sedan.

In Europe, output in the UK fell 3.7% to 319,652 units, while in Spain strong demand for the Primastar commercial vehicle boosted output by 22.6% to 142,889 units.

December Production
Nissan\'s global production in December climbed 2.5% to 228,144 units compared with the same month a year earlier.

In Japan, production fell 12.1% in December to 93,905 units. Despite the introduction of new models, including the Murano crossover SUV, the Tiida compact car and the Fuga luxury sedan, production was lower compared with the previous year due to the production suspensions in early December.

Overseas production, however, rose 16.1% to 134,239 units. In the US, production jumped 27.6% to 61,479 units on the back of strong sales of the Altima, the new Frontier and the new Pathfinder. Production in Mexico increased 40.6% to 27,220 units due to strong sales of the Sentra and the Platina compact car.

In the UK, slower sales of the Micra compact car (March in Japan) led year-on-year production to fall 25.6% to 16,006 units. Production in Spain rose 4.2% to 9,818 units due to strong sales of the Primastar.

2004 Sales
In Japan, Nissan\'s registrations in 2004 fell 4.9% to 743,067 units due to the lack of new models in the first half of the year. Nissan\'s share of the domestic registered vehicle market amounted to 18.8%, down 0.6 percentage point. Including minivehicles, Nissan\'s domestic sales rose 0.2% to 826,822 units. Its share of the market remained unchanged at 14.1%.

In the US, sales increased 24.1% to a record 985,989 units, with both the Nissan and Infiniti brands reaching their highest levels ever.

In Europe, sales climbed 0.3% to 543,948 units. Strong sales of the X-TRAIL, as well as the Kubistar and Primastar commercial vehicles helped offset a lack of new passenger vehicles.

December Sales
Nissan\'s domestic registrations in December rose 3.9% compared with a year earlier to 54,006 units. Its share of the market grew 0.2 percentage point to 17.8%, boosted by strong sales of new models including the Tiida, the Fuga and the Lafesta minivan. Including minivehicles, Nissan\'s domestic sales in December rose 4.3% to 60,131 units, while its market share grew 0.2 percentage point to 13.4%.

In the US, Nissan\'s December sales rose 37.8% to 92,268 units. The Altima, the new Pathfinder and the Titan sustained their high sales levels, leading to record sales for the month of December.

In Europe, Nissan\'s sales totaled 45,531 units, down 8.0%. While sales of the X-TRAIL were strong, slower sales of the Micra weighed on the results.

2004 Japan Exports
Nissan\'s exports in 2004 advanced 2.9% over the previous year to 728,929 units. While exports to North America declined 2.5% to 264,340 units, exports to Europe rose 23.9% to 133,690 units helped by strong sales of the X-TRAIL.

Meanwhile, exports to Latin America climbed 27.5% to 64,574 units and exports to Oceania increased 5.5% to 69,820 units. Exports to Asian markets fell 0.5% to 100,479 units.

December Japan Exports

Shipments to North America fell 7.3% to 21,332 units after production of the new Pathfinder was shifted to Nissan\'s Smyrna plant in Tennessee. Exports to Europe rose 7.1% to 9,844 units propelled by robust sales of the X-TRAIL and other models.
